LAS VEGAS (AP)

Washington (13-18) appeared to be headed toward a rout, but blew
a 15-point lead with 8 1/2 minutes left.

The sixth-seeded Huskies went 8 minutes without a field goal as
Washington State (17-15) scored 15 straight points to tie it.
Desmond Simmons put Washington up by two with a tough shot inside
with 1:16 remaining, and Washington State's Brock Motum badly
missed a 3-pointer while trying to draw a foul with 3 seconds
left.

Abdul Gaddy had 11 assists for Washington, which moves on to
face third-seeded Oregon in Thursday's quarterfinals.

Motum had 28 points in what's likely his final game for
Washington State, and D.J. Shelton added 19.
